Mailo is a French e-mail provider that has a version of its e-mail service specially designed for children. It is called Mailo Junior and it's a safe and educational email service for children aged 6-14. 
Parents are able to monitor their children's address books and children will only be able to exchange emails with their parent-approved correspondents.
No advertising, no tracking, no profiling - just like an email service should be for everyone!
Mailo Junior offers two different interfaces. The Mini is perfect for kids aged 6 to 9, with basic features. And for those aged 10 to 14, the Junior interface is the way to go, with more features such as a calendar and virtual disc.
Later, the child's account can be upgraded to the standard Mailo, so they can keep their own address.
And most importantly: kids can email Santa directly from Mailo! 
How does it work? Parents receive their child's message to Santa Claus and then instruct Santa's helpers to create a personalised message just for their child. 
(well, sadly this feature is currently only available in French ) (Conditions: https://perenoel.mailo.com/mailo/fr/bureau-du-pere-noel.php)
The data is stored in France, at Ecritel (https://www.ecritel.fr).

European hot sauce alternative to Tabasco?
Detrumpez-vous: a new mobile app developed by a French computer engineer to scan food products to check if the brand is owned by an American company or if it belongs to an American group.
How does it work?
Barcode Scanning: User scans the product's barcode to retrieve its unique number.
API Requests: The application queries external APIs to get product details, including name and brand.
Blacklist Check: The retrieved brand name is compared against a blacklist.
And everybody can contribute to the blacklist, the project is on GitHub:
Blacklist file: https://github.com/Sacha213/detrumpez-vous/blob/main/assets/brandlist.json
(but most of its files and blacklist descriptions are still in French. :))

After a successful Easter convention weekend, it's time to reopen my website! Updated just now with some of my remaining stock and exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces (see attached photos)!
As a reminder, I ship orders within the EU and Switzerland. If you'd like delivery elsewhere, contact me directly by email and I'll see what I can do regarding shipping and customs!
Are you looking to replace Google Maps and choose European?
Gladly, we have a lot of alternatives!
I’m currently working on some big behind-the-scenes stuff (including an effort regarding #BuyFromEU), but in between there’s always time for working on feature requests from users.
